Stewart.

"You
sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world
revolves around you and your money! Well, it doesn't, Mr. Potter! In the...

a scurvy little spider!" --Jimmy
Stewart.

time you hear a bell rings it means some angel's just got his wings." --Henry

And I'm not anxious to have another one around the place."
